Design and Analysis of Algorithms

Prof. Tim Roughgarden

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Overview course:   Introduction to fundamental techniques for designing and analyzing algorithms, including asymptotic analysis; divide-and-conquer algorithms and recurrences; greedy algorithms; data structures; dynamic programming; graph algorithms; and randomized algorithms.
Required textbook:   Kleinberg and Tardos, Algorithm Design, Covering Most of Chapters 4-6 will be 2005. We, some Parts of Chapter 13, and in The Book of Not A couple topics.
Prerequisites:   Introduction to proofs, and with with discrete Mathematics and Probability (eg, CS 103 and Stat116). If you have not taken a probability course, you should expect to do some independent reading during the course on topics including random variables, expectation, conditioning, and basic combinatorics.
